A curious comic book fan meets a dedicated brain scientist in order to find out whether is it possible to obtain actual superpowers. Among us there are extraordinary individuals whose abilities seem humanly impossible. One person can memorize virtually anything, another endures extreme cold, and one is able to see sound like bats and dolphins. Are these people from another planet or just like the rest of us ordinary humans? Sean Ricks finds himself in a year-long human experiment. He travels to meet inspirational real life superhumans who coach him to unleash his inner potential waiting to be discovered. The quest leads Sean beyond unimaginable limits. He finds himself playing ice-hockey blindfolded in LA, wandering in a memory-maze in Stockholm, running an ultra marathon in Finnish Lapland, diving under a thick layer of ice and performing in front of a full concert hall audience under hypnosis. Ultimately Sean has to face his greatest fear and overcome the ghost of his father. Superhumans is a deep dive into the human mind and its often-imaginary boundaries. We all have enormous hidden potential, but why is it so hard to discover?
